Underbody Insulation Tearing?
 
Tried searching but didn't see much on underbody insulation, just under hood. Anyway, when I was working on my car this weekend, I noticed that driverside middle of the car, I would say basically parallel to the Cat some of my insulation has actually torn off a bit. Just didn't know any recommended ways to stick it back up there. Its not really noticeable nor is it a huge chunk, but its visible if you are looking underneath the car (not to mention its one of those fun 'i know about it, so its gunna bug me') things lol.

I'm sure its normal wear and tear, didn't know though if i should take some effort to glue/stick it back on or just leave it.

you talking about those soft fiberglass? I had a piece of wood pierced into it, and I used superglue to glue the piece together. get the liquid one not the gel one. also hit with some dark primer after you do that so water wont get in.

Yea I am not sure exactly what it is, its right near the sides of the car right underneath. I will go ahead and give that a shot. Just out of curiosity, is that therej ust to protect the underbody?

I believe its for sound proofing and fire protection.
